Great except for one thing well maybe two. July 6, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is a great resourse. It has so many exercise and four different types of resistance each in its own section: no equipment, dumbbells, barbells, and crossover. It also list exercises based on experience, in the catogory of beginner, intermediate, and expert. My biggest complaint about this book is that it doesn't specifically tell what muscles are being worked for each exercise. The exercises are put into catogies and are not narrowed down any further than "knee dominant" or "hip dominant". Which is fine I guess, but how are you going to know which exercise works which specific muscles? There are some sample routines in the book which are okay, but if you don't have the equipment there aren't alternatives sugguested. Which leads back to complaint number one. Tell what muscles are worked and I can find an alternative exercise with what I have to work with. All and all a great book! It is a great companion book to The Body You Want in the Time You Have by Matt Murphy which is 2/3 of the 350+ pages are rountines based on the how many days and how much time. That book does tell you exactly which muscles you working, but only includes 48 exercises and not all the great alternatives and of the Homework Bible.

boring book to read...... not interesting at all. I read a few chpters and then bought the lean & hard book.
Worth the money. May 26, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is really the Bible of workouts. After applying the exercise with my dumbbells and bench at home, I decided I did not need to pay all that money to the Gym anymore. The text is very descriptive on all exercises. Highly recommend.
Good for beginers but with flaws May 7, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Well I have some experience with working out and seeing that this book is aimed at beginners , it does not do justice in many ways. Cons : 1.It does not explain clearly what exercise trains what muscle group clearly. 2. There is no information on Exhale/Inhale(Very important for exercise). 3. It take for granted that people will know certain postures etc and does not explain in detail as to what Barbells to use.(Ez,Straight,etc) Pros: 1. Lot of exercises. 2. Good routine to follow. 3. Decent information for beginners. Well this book has its flaws but it is a lot better than many books out there.

This book has a lot of technical expertise in it for sure. However, the format of the book and they way it delivers the routines can be kind of confusing for someone who is just starting out. Otherwise, a great read and definitely helped me make some gains.
